Inflation and mortgage rates discussed by Romney and Barba
The discussion centers on curbing inflation and the impact of higher rates on housing. Barba urges the Federal Reserve to ease money pressures while Pease notes eight percent is illegal in six states and the District of Columbia, threatening a housing crisis unless rate limits rise. Romney says lenders may reduce discount rates to offset higher yields, as high rates draw money from housing and past efforts to support mortgage markets have not kept housing production high. The ceiling has changed nine times in a decade, from 6.4 percent last year.
